Math 1022 Trigonometry Spring 2017 Dual Enrollment Syllabus

Course Website www.math.lsu.edu/programs/CollegeReadiness/DualEnrollment

Course Eligibility Minimum composite score of ACT-18, Old SAT-860, or New SAT-940 AND minimum math score of ACT-25, Old SAT-570, or New SAT-590 OR credit in Math 1021 with a grade of “C’ or better.

Course Design Overview  Teachers will present one-third of the face-to-face time, and students will work individually with teacher guidance the remaining two-thirds of the face-to-face time.  Homework, quizzes, tests, and the Final Exam will be completed online using a web- based learning and assessment system called MyMathLab (MML).

Required Materials  Trigsted Algebra & Trigonometry MyMathLab online account which includes the etext.  Your LSU email address which must be used in MyMathLab as your email address  The course ID# for your section of the course which will be given to you by your teacher  A non-graphing calculator with logarithmic and exponential capabilities The TI30XIIS (solar) or the TI30XIIB (battery) with a two-line display is preferred. Graphing calculators are NOT allowed. Also, calculators with symbolic notation or natural display capabilities, such as the TI-30XS Multiview, the TI-34 Multiview, the TI- 36X Pro and all of the Casio 115ES and 300ES Natural Display series, are NOT allowed.

MyMathLab Tips  It is possible that at some point during the semester you will not be able to access your account in MyMathLab by going to www.mymathlab.com and selecting “Sign In” on the upper right side. In this situation, you can try using www.mathxl.com but be sure to login as a MyMathLab user using the small link in the middle of the right side of the login screen, not as a MathXL user.  If you need technical assistance with MyMathLab, call student technical support at 1 800 677 6337.

Topics Topics covered include Evaluating Trig Functions of General Angles, Graphing Trig Functions, Inverse Trig Functions, Identities and Formulas, Solving Trig Equations, Triangle Applications, Polar Graphs, and Vectors.

Participation Grade  You will receive four participation grades during the semester. One grade will be posted in the Participation category of MyMathLab after each test.  Participation counts as 10% of your course grade.  Your high school teacher will provide you with a written description of the requirements for each participation grade. 2

Homework  You should review your class notes and read the etext before attempting the homework.  When working your homework assignments, you should save after completing each exercise.  You can re-work exercises, enter and exit your homework, and get back to it at a later time prior to the due date.  If you rely on the MyMathLab learning aids or other help to get a Skill Check, Standard, Step-by-Step, or Brief exercise correct, then use the Similar Exercise feature and rework the exercise repeatedly until you can get it correct without any help. This is essential. Many students who become overly dependent on the learning aids or other assistance to get a score of 100% on the homework assignment find out that they score much lower on the tests.  Your homework assignment average counts as 10% of your final course grade.  Graded homework for each section has due dates and will close then, but a copy of each homework assignment (labeled Practice Homework) is open throughout the semester to be used for studying. The Practice Homework does not count toward your final course grade.  An additional practice homework assignment called Practice What You Missed on Test x is created when you submit each test. This does not count toward your final course grade, but you should use it to practice what you missed on the test in preparation for the Final Exam.  There are three categories of homework exercises. For each category of homework exercise, the result of your last attempt for each exercise will be recorded when you save. Type of Sample of Features Exercise Numbering Skill Check 1.1.SCE-2 ~learning aids available in MML ~in general three attempts allowed for each iteration with Standard 2.1.15 feedback after each Step-by-Step 4.1.SbS-13 ~Similar Exercise (new iteration for same exercise number) allowed an unlimited number of times Brief 5.3.BE-47 ~teacher can assist with these exercises Custom Instructor- ~learning aids NOT available in MML created ~in general three attempts allowed for each iteration with Question feedback after each ~Similar Exercise (new iteration for same exercise) allowed an unlimited number of times ~teacher can assist with these exercises Reading 2.1.RA-3 ~learning aids NOT available in MML Assessment ~can be attempted only two times with feedback after each ~Similar Exercise NOT allowed ~multiple choice, usually found at the end of each homework assignment, 3 to 7 questions ~teacher can NOT assist with these exercises 3

Quizzes  You should master your homework before attempting the quizzes, and you should try to do the quizzes without any help. If you rely on help to get a score of 100% on the quizzes, you will score much lower on the tests.  You will not get feedback after each exercise answer is entered. You must work through the quiz and submit it before seeing your score. You can review your quiz in Gradebook, and the MyMathLab learning aids will appear for the review.  Quizzes should be used as preparation for tests. Re-take the quizzes until you can do the work correctly without any assistance from notes, the etext, or the MyMathLab learning aids.  Each quiz contains ten questions with each question drawn from a pool of exercises having the same or similar learning objectives. It is recommended that you take a quiz at least four times even if you earn a score of 100% before that to ensure that you see a cross-section of the exercises.  The quizzes count as 10% of your final course grade. Each quiz can be attempted up to ten times prior to the due date. Only your best quiz score for each quiz will be counted in your final course grade.  The maximum working time allowed for each attempt of each quiz is 75 minutes. While working on a quiz with time remaining, you can close the browser (rather than choosing Submit) and re-open that same quiz later without any additional elapsed time.  You are allowed to consult with other students regarding math concepts but not regarding specific answers to questions. You may discuss the concepts demonstrated in the quizzes but not share or assist another student in deriving an answer. Your work must be independently written and entered into MyMathLab. You are prohibited from using any additional online or third party resources that are not explicitly listed in the syllabus or provided by your teacher.

Tests and the Final Exam  The proctored, password-protected tests and the Final Exam are taken using MyMathLab.  You will not get feedback after each exercise answer is entered. You must work through the test and submit it before seeing your score. You can review your test in Gradebook, and the MyMathLab learning aids will appear for the review.  After completing all homework and quizzes, you should prepare for tests and the Final Exam by repeatedly practicing until you can get all exercises correct without any assistance from MyMathLab learning aids, notes, or the etext. Practice Tests and a Practice Final Exam are available in MyMathLab for each test and will be open throughout the semester. They do not count toward your final course grade, but it is essential that you work the Practice Tests repeatedly until you can do them without help.  Only one attempt is allowed for each test and for the Final Exam.  The maximum time allowed is 90 minutes for each test and 120 minutes for the Final Exam.  You are not allowed assistance of any kind on a test or on the Final Exam. This includes notes, formula sheets*, or any other type of outside help. While testing, you are not allowed to access other online materials, including your homework, quizzes, and online learning aids in MyMathLab. Remember, academic dishonesty is a violation of the university Code of Student Conduct. 4

*An LSU department-prepared formula sheet will be given to you at the beginning of Test 3 and the Final Exam. You may not bring your own formula sheet to any test or to the Final Exam.  There will be four test scores and a Final Exam. Your four tests count as 45% of your final course grade, or 11.25% each. The Final Exam counts as 25% of your final course grade, with the following exception. Your Final Exam score will be entered in the Moodle gradebook as your Final Exam score and also as a (fictitious) Test #5 score. Then, the lowest of the scores on Tests #1-5 will not be used in the final grade calculation (even though that score shows in the Moodle gradebook). This has the effect of replacing your lowest of four test scores with the Final Exam score if the Final Exam score is higher. In this situation, your Final Exam score counts as 36.25% of your final grade, and each of your three highest test grades counts as 11.25% of your final course grade.

Final Grade Calculation for LSU grade* (posted in Moodle) Weight Item Details 10% Participation 4 grades (1 after each test) 10% Homework lowest 2 of 23 homework scores will be dropped 10% Quizzes lowest 2 of 13 quiz scores will be dropped 45% Tests 4 tests, lowest will be replaced with the Final Exam score if higher 25% Final Exam comprehensive

The Practice Homework, Practice Tests, Practice What You Missed on Test x, and the Practice Final Exam do not count toward the final grade in the course. A replaced test grade and dropped homework or quiz grades will always show in the Moodle gradebook but will NOT be used in the Moodle final course grade calculation. *The high school grade for Advanced Math-Precalculus may be calculated using different criteria.

Grading Scale A+: 98-100% A: 93-97% A-: 90-92% B+: 88-89% B: 83-87% B-: 80-82% C+: 78-79% C: 73-77% C-: 70-72% D+: 68-69% D: 63-67% D-: 60-62% F: 0-59%

Your course grade will be determined by rounding your course average (either up or down) to the nearest whole number using standard rounding procedures.

General Education Course Credit This course satisfies three hours of the General Education Analytical Reasoning requirement. It includes the following area learning objective: LSU graduates will employ scientific and mathematical models in the resolution of laboratory and real-world problems.
